MANILA, Philippines— The Supreme Court, sitting as Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), again warned both the camps of Vice President Leni Robredo and former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos of the existing gag order issued to them. In February 2018, the PET issued a resolution prohibiting the parties from discussing to the public the merits of their case while it is pending in court. ADVERTISEMENTA month later, the PET issued another resolution reminding both camps to follow the sub judice rule. The parties again started bickering following the Marcos’ camp’s move to inhibit justice-in-charge Associate Justice Marvic Leonen. In June 2018, both camps were fined P50,000 for violating the gag order.
